We also provide event catering (inside or out) and planning services to bring the Café No.8 seal of quality to any event.

Lucie Wake is currently exhibiting her artwork here at Café No.8 Bistro, and one of our favourites is this striking piece entitled Mr Blue Sky, which Lucie created during a visit to Pool Bridge Farm.

You’ll find several of Lucie’s pieces on display throughout the bistro, so do pop in for a meal, enjoy the atmosphere, and take the opportunity to admire and be tempted to buy one of Lucie's beautiful pieces of art.
